۞ وَقَالَ And said waqāla women nis'watun in fī the city l-madīnati The wife of im'ra-atu Aziz l-ʿazīzi (is) seeking to seduce turāwidu her slave boy fatāhā about ʿan himself nafsihi indeed qad he has impassioned her shaghafahā (with) love ḥubban Indeed, we innā [we] surely see her lanarāhā in fī an error ḍalālin clear mubīnin
Pero algunas mujeres de la ciudad comentaron: “La mujer del gobernador pretende seducir a su joven criado. Su amor por él la ha trastornado. Pensamos que está profundamente equivocada”.
فَلَمَّا So when falammā she heard samiʿat of their scheming bimakrihinna she sent arsalat for them ilayhinna and she prepared wa-aʿtadat for them lahunna a banquet muttaka-an and she gave waātat each kulla one wāḥidatin of them min'hunna a knife sikkīnan and she said waqālati Come out ukh'ruj before them ʿalayhinna Then when falammā they saw him ra-aynahu they greatly admired him akbarnahu and cut waqaṭṭaʿna their hands aydiyahunna they said waqul'na Forbid ḥāsha Allah lillahi not mā (is) this hādhā a man basharan not in (is) this hādhā but illā an angel malakun noble karīmun
Cuando [la mujer del gobernador] se enteró de sus habladurías las invitó [a su casa], les preparó un banquete y dio a cada una de ellas un cuchillo [para cortar la comida]. Entonces le dijo [a José]: “Preséntate ante ellas”. Cuando lo vieron quedaron tan asombradas [por su belleza] que se cortaron la mano [por la distracción], y dijeron: “¡Dios Santo! No es un ser humano, es un ángel hermoso”.
قَالَتْ She said qālat That fadhālikunna (is) the one alladhī you blamed me lum'tunnanī about him fīhi And certainly walaqad I sought to seduce him rāwadttuhu [from] ʿan [himself] nafsihi but he saved himself fa-is'taʿṣama and if wala-in not lam he does yafʿal what mā I order him āmuruhu surely, he will be imprisoned layus'jananna and certainly will be walayakūnan of mina those who are disgraced l-ṣāghirīna
[Dijo ella:] “Éste es por quien me censurabais. Yo quise seducirlo, pero se mantuvo casto. Si no hace lo que le pido, ordenaré que lo encarcelen y terminará siendo humillado”.
قَالَ He said qāla My Lord rabbi the prison l-sij'nu (is) dearer aḥabbu to me ilayya than what mimmā they invite me yadʿūnanī to it ilayhi And unless wa-illā You turn away taṣrif from me ʿannī their plot kaydahunna I might incline aṣbu towards them ilayhinna and [I] be wa-akun of mina the ignorant l-jāhilīna
Dijo [José]: “¡Señor mío! Prefiero la cárcel a caer en lo que éstas mujeres me proponen; pero si no apartas de mí su acoso, cederé a sus encantos y cometeré una estupidez”.
فَٱسْتَجَابَ So responded fa-is'tajāba to him lahu his Lord rabbuhu and turned away faṣarafa from him ʿanhu their plot kaydahunna Indeed, [He] innahu He huwa (is) All-Hearer l-samīʿu All-Knower l-ʿalīmu
Pero su Señor respondió a su súplica y apartó de él sus artimañas; Él todo lo oye, todo lo sabe.
